A win for Everton’s U-23 squad today over Sunderland would catapult them to the top of the Premier League 2 for the time being. The young Blues currently find themselves in second, two points behind league leaders Liverpool. However, Everton’s kids +11 goal difference is the best in PL2 and they are in the middle of a fine run of four, five straight wins in the league.

On the other side, the Black Cats are struggling. Through seven games, they have just five points and they have lost back-to-back matches. Yikes. On paper, this is all in EFC’s favor, but that’s why they play the games.
